Convert special characters for display in HTML
====Description====
string
htmlspecialchars (
string
$data
)
Certain characters have special significance in HTML, and should be represented by HTML entities if they are to be displayed in a browser "as is." This function returns a string with these conversions made.
====Parameter====
$data: String to be formatted
====Return Values====
String with certain characters replaced. The translations performed are:
^CHARACTER^NAME^TRANSLATED (HTML ENTITY)^
|&|ampersand|''&''|
|"|double quote|''"''|
|'|single quote|'''''|
|<|less than|''<''|
|>|greater than|''>''|
====Examples====
Test"
$send=htmlspecialchars($data);
print($send);
?>
The above example will set $send to the value ''<a href='test'>Test</a>'' and the browser will display:
Test
(Without conversion by [[htmlspecialchars]] the browser would instead display the hyperlink __Test__)
